TRANSCRIPT:
An Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer has shot and killed a Minneapolis motorist during the Trump administration’s latest immigration crackdown in a major US city.
Phone videos captured the moment and its aftermath.
"They just shot at somebody whose car crashed."
There are starkly different accounts of why the 37-year-old woman, a US citizen, was shot dead by an ICE officer.
The US Department of Homeland Security claims Renee Nicole Good was killed in self-defence after she tried to hit officers with her car.
Local officials dispute that, including Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey.
In an angry response, Mr Frey demanded all ICE agents leave the city.
''There's little I can say again that will make this situation better. But I do have a message for our community, for our city, and I have a message for ICE. To ICE, 'Get the [beeped] out of Minneapolis.' We do not want you here. Your stated reason for being in this city is to create some kind of safety. And you are doing exactly the opposite. People are being hurt. Families are being ripped apart. Long term Minneapolis residents that have contributed so greatly to our city, to our culture, to our economy are being terrorised. And now somebody is dead.”
The ICE agent who shot Ms Good was among 2,000 federal officers that President Trump's administration deployed to the Minneapolis area in what the Department of Homeland Security described as the "largest DHS operation ever".
DHS officials say the shooting was self-defence, accusing her of trying to ram agents in an act of "domestic terrorism".
Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem says the woman posed a security risk to the ICE officer.
"This is an experienced officer who followed his training and we will continue to let the investigation unfold into the individual and continue to follow the procedures and policies that happen in these use-of-force cases but let's remember the events that surrounded what happened yesterday on that tragic situation - (it) was that these individuals had followed our officers all day, had harassed them had blocked them in, they were impeding our law enforcement operations, which is against the law. And when they demanded and commanded her to get out of her vehicle several times, she did not. So we'll continue to allow this process to unfold and recognise that these law enforcement officers every single day put their lives on the line."
Minneapolis Mayor Frey, a Democrat, dismissed the self-defence assertion based on bystander videos taken of the incident that appear to contradict the government's account.
Both Mayor Frey and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, also a Democrat, have called on President Trump to withdraw federal agents from the city, saying their presence is sowing chaos in the streets.
But the New York Times reports the administration is sending more than 100 extra Customs and Border Patrol personnel from other cities following the shooting.
The death has sparked widespread protests in the state and beyond.
Faith leaders from the Christian, Jewish and Muslim communities have come together in the city to demand the removal of federal agents taking part in the immigration crackdown.
Christian Minister JaNae Imari Bates, spoke out after the shooting.
“The ICE officer who shot Renee Good must be arrested, charged, and prosecuted. Federal badges do not put anyone above the law. That also means that the FBI must release the evidence to Minnesota law enforcement so that they can actually investigate."
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says it initially agreed with the FBI to conduct a joint investigation into the shooting, but says the federal agency has now reversed course and taken sole control of the investigation.
The decision, according to the BCA's superintendent, Drew Evans, means the state bureau will no longer have access to the scene evidence, case materials or interviews.
Vice President JD Vance has defended the move.
"The precedent here is very simple. You have a federal law enforcement official engaging in federal law enforcement action. That's a federal issue. That guy is protected by absolute immunity. He was doing his job. The idea that Tim Walz and a bunch of radicals in Minneapolis are gonna go after and make this guy's life miserable because he was doing the job that he was asked to do is preposterous. The unprecedented thing is the idea that a local official can actually prosecute a federal official with absolute immunity. I've never seen anything like that. It would get tossed out by a judge."
Keith Ellison, the state's Democratic attorney general, has told CNN the FBI's decision is "deeply disturbing."
He says state authorities could investigate with or without the cooperation of the federal government.
He added that the evidence he has seen, including some that has not yet been made public, indicates that state charges are a possibility.
Immigration operations started last year in cities including Chicago, Los Angeles and Portland.
Ms Good is at least the fifth person killed during ICE enforcement efforts.
